Bubble in tire
Was getting some suspension work done a few days ago and the mechanic noticed a bubble on the front passenger tire. It's not that big and sometime you don't notice it, well to me that is :D The tire is practically brand new (got them last season).
Do you think I should replace the tire? These are the best shots I could take. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...b/fba2050b.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...e/fba20509.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...1/fba20507.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...a/fba20506.jpg |
that bubble would eventually getting bigger no?? then KABLAMO!!
|
i think you have no choice but to replace it
|
Yeah, same thing happened to my bike when I was like 15, it just got bigger and blew. I'm guessing same thing would happen to a car.
Man...I miss that bike |
Yeapper sux to be you, that VERY dangerous imagine it blowing when you're driving across the 401 in the fast lane...:eek:
I've killed 2 tires b4.:( |
The bad news is:
you definatley need replace the tire, The good news is: Most tire manufacturers have road hazzard warrantees. So a replacement should be pro-rated based upon the wear. When I blew 1 of my brandnew Toyo T1S, it cost me $40 + my old tire. :) Good luck |

Contact your tire dealer, ask them what they can do.
I'm sure there is some warranty for canada |
ya check it out cause i bought some infinity speakers and they have a similar warrenty thing... ie no warrenty outside of states... but i went to future shop and they get me new stuff
|
I think you're out of luck, I had the same problem with my winter Nokkians, no road damage coverage, switched to blizzeks what do.
From now on only going to buy tires with road damage coverage.. too many pot holes. |
the bubble is not a problem. the only thing is if you over inflate your tires that is what would cause that. what you can do is send a pic to the manufacturer and most of them will be more than happy to replace your tire free of charge, because that makes them look bad, or it could have been a bad batch of tires that came of the line, and you happend to get one.
